I didn't get it. It was decently acted, I guess. I didn't agree with or at times even understand what was being talked about. I mainly watched it for Christina Hendricks. If this was a comedy it was as unfunny as one could get. I also found it quite hard to believe that a man would buy a building in the east village and it would be rent controlled for $415/mo. That wasn't a major plot point, it was just something else I just didn't get. What year does this take place? I strongly disliked the men in this movie and the surrogate, her five phases made no sense and her reason for existing seemed to be for the pleasure of men. Her character struck as one that would sympathize with sexual predators.

I don't know why I didn't watch this years ago as I love ballet and before the world closed I loved to watch ballet performances in Seattle (where I live). As others have said this isn't necessarily earth shattering and Misty is a beautifully, super talented dancer. I personally would have like to see them address the colorism. Yes she is black, but she is super light-skinned and has very straight hair. I love the dance theater Alvin Ailey for this reason. You see amazing dancers in various hues. I want ballet to be more diverse, but where are the performers that look like me? that have kinky hair and deep chocolate skin? What are the girls that look like that supposed to aspire to? I can't recall the woman's name but the one she was in the scene with that she said she admired was lighter than Misty! But she was able to see herself in that woman as a child. I just want there to be a principal dancer for the dark chocolate girls with afro puffs to see themselves in too. And I don't think that was captured in this documentary.
